AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The "I'm Going To Die" Spider-man 3 QTE meme originates from a particular scene in the Spider-man 3 video game. In this scene, Spider-man attempts to rescue a woman who is tied to a bomb within a burning building. If the player fails to successfully complete the quick-time events (QTEs) required for the rescue, Spider-man clumsily faceplants. Following this, the woman despairingly says "I'm going to die" just before the building explodes. This cutscene is infamous for its awkward execution and has been widely mocked for its perceived comedic value.

OriginWho did it first?

The infamous cutscene is part of the Spider-man 3 video game, which was released on May 4, 2007 for most major gaming systems. Early in the game involves a mission where the player must save a woman tied to a bomb in a burning building. A successful rescue depends on completing a series of quick-time events. Failing these QTEs triggers the cutscene where Spider-man faceplants, leading to the woman muttering "I'm going to die" before the building's explosion. This scene became popular after being uploaded by YouTuber Thatdoodleable on November 3, 2012, and can be viewed here.^[1]
